Investigating the impact of driving automation systems on distracted driving behaviors.

Driving automation systems (e.g., SAE Level 2) ultimately aim to enhance the comfort and safety of drivers.

Parent and Teen Factors Associated with the Amount and Variety of Supervised Practice Driving.

Despite the fact that a minimum number of practice hours for novice drivers has been widely adopted in the U.S., Australia, NZ and in some European countries, surprisingly little is known about the amount or variety of driving during the learner stage.

Crash rates over time among younger and older drivers in the SHRP 2 naturalistic driving study.

Objective: To examine crash rates over time among 16-17-year-old drivers compared to older drivers.

Methods: Data were from a random sample of 854 of the 3,500 study participants in SHRP 2, a U.S.

Learner Driver Experience and Teenagers' Crash Risk During the First Year of Independent Driving.

Importance: One mechanism for teenagers' elevated crash risk during independent driving may be inadequate learner driving experience.

Objective: To determine how learner driver experience was associated with crash risk during the first year of independent driving.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Youth aged 15.

Kinematic risky driving behavior among younger and older drivers: Differences over time by age group and sex.

This research examined the incidence rates of elevated gravitational force events (kinematic risky driving, KRD) among 16- to 17-year-old drivers compared to those of 18- to 20-year-old, 21- to 25-year-old, and 35- to 55-year-old drivers over a 12-month period. Data were sampled from the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) naturalistic driving study that recruited a U.S.
